INSIDE THE YEAR OF AUDACITY

YOU GET ACCESS TO:

MONTHLY LIVE SUPPORT CALLS WITH ME

Wany my eyes on your project from start to finish? From the foundation of your script, to running your production, making your festival plan, and turning your festival debut into bigger opportunities, I will help you know exactly what to do, say, and prepare for every step of the process.

THE SHORT FILM LAB

My signature screenwriting program to go from idea-in-your-head to finished script you love. This process has helped over 250 women write finally write their damn script already. If a script you can actually produce, screen at festivals, and make a name for yourself as a filmmaker is what you're looking for, The Year Of Audacity is about to become your breakthrough year.

GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER

Planning to use your short film as a stepping stone to the feature film or tv pilot version? Get Your Act Together will empower you with the subtle but crucial difference in act structures between feature film, tv comedies and tv dramas. That way you can keep your bigger project in mind while you develop the short film version. If you're someone who likes to reverse-engineer your project, start with the bigger script first, and I'll help you pull out the perfect short film version that you can produce.

THE SELF PRODUCTION PROGRAM

Knowing how to produce your own work is life-changing. You never have to wait for permission to do what you love. Ever. Turn your script into the film that opens doors for you. Festival debut here you come!

FILM BUDGET FLOW & FULLY FUNDED FILM

The first step to pre-production is a realistic, accurate budget that supports your film (and has money set aside for your festival attendance). Once you have the right budget, you need to raise it. In Fully Funded Film you'll learn how I raised 138% of my film budget (and how you can make this possible for your film too).

FESTIVAL-WORTHY FILM MASTERCLASS

This masterclass will help you develop your idea to be like catnip for film programmers. After analyzing hundreds of short films, I've compiled the 3 core story elements every widly successful festival film has (and now yours can too). This intentionality makes your festival debut a matter of when, and not if.

You'll also get:

A PRIVATE COMMUNITY OF FEMALE FILMMAKERS

Surround yourself with other women who are as audacious as you are- we each have a deeply personal story we want to share with the world, and are determined to make it no matter what. In this community we cheer each other on, hold space when the challenges arrive, and share filmmaking resources. No one can do the work for you, but in The Year Of Audacity, you never have to go it alone.

SPECIAL INDUSTRY GUESTS & WORKSHOPS

Want to know how to land pitch meetings to sell your tv show? How to find investors to start your own production company? This program is here to help you step into audacity - big dreams and the bold action to make them happen. If I don't know how to make your goal happen, I'll bring in someone who does. That way we all grow, stretch, and level up together.

ACCESS TO EVERY NEW MASTERCLASS AND PROGRAM I LAUNCH IN 2025

The entertainment industry is constantly changing, and when I learn new things, I can't keep them all to myself. I love to create new programs to help you be the bold filmmaker you're meant to be, and revise my signature programs to make them even better. As a member of The Year Of Audacity, you get access to every new masterclass and digital program I create in 2025 (including lifetime access).

I'M EMILY

Owner of Pickford West Society, and on a mission to empower women to make their own projects so they never have to wait for permission.

The Year Of Audacity isn't your typical film school. It's a film school for her: the woman who knows her vulnerability is strength, her story matters, who feels called to make an impact by sharing the stories she deeply cares about.

I don't just show women how to write and produce films. I use the same exact tools to create my own work, too. Everything I learn on my own filmmaking journey, I bring back here, to help yours be even better.

If you're here, you're a fellow female filmmaker who wants the exact path to write, produce and debut your work. You want to use your short film as a stepping stone to bigger opportunities, better collabrations, and more visibility to make a real impact with your work.

If making a splash on the festival circuit to create momentum that uplevels your career in every way, while making lifelong friendships with fellow women in this industry as we all move up together, then The Year Of Audacity is for you.
